When Claire was on injections, the NPH (Lilly) just didn't seem to work and
she had stinging with the shots. The doctor (don't know if he was an Endo or
not--this was in the UK and we saw a different doctor at the diabetes clinic
every time) told me to go ahead and try the Novo-Nordisk brand instead, to
see if it would make any difference. It didn't. But I mixed her morning
shot of Lilly's Regular and Novo-Nordisk NPH together for quite awhile, then
went back to the Lilly.
I think the manufacturers will tell you what insulins can be mixed and
which shouldn't be. Though nothing beats trying it yourself and really
finding out what effect it has on you.
